Medical Wigs & Cranial Prosthesis in West Palm Beach, FL
One client at a time. Every appointment is yours alone — unhurried, private, and built around what you actually need.
The drive is the thing everyone mentions first. West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale is about fifty minutes on I-95, and no one in the middle of treatment wants to make that trip four times. So for Palm Beach County clients, Dorin builds the fitting around the drive: the measuring, the color match, the cap selection, and the insurance paperwork are handled together in one long, unhurried appointment rather than spread across a calendar.
The Cranial Prosthesis, Explained
A cranial prosthesis is a wig prescribed for hair loss with a medical cause — chemotherapy, radiation, alopecia, trichotillomania, or severe thinning. The construction is the same as Dorin's finest custom pieces: hand-tied, human hair, colored to match yours strand for strand. The medical designation is what allows your insurer, FSA, or HSA to treat the piece as the prescribed device it is rather than a retail purchase.
One Long Appointment Instead of Four Short Ones
A fitting is often spread across several visits. For clients coming south from Palm Beach County, that is the wrong shape. The first appointment is booked long on purpose: head measurements, a color match taken from your own hair while it is still present, a cap construction chosen against your scalp sensitivity, and the itemized insurance documentation prepared before you leave.
Because every custom piece is made to order and can be shipped, much of what follows does not require the interstate. If you would rather return for a final in-person fitting, you are welcome to — it is one drive, not four.
For Clients in Treatment Across Palm Beach County
Many of our West Palm Beach clients schedule their fitting in the weeks between diagnosis and the first treatment — the window when natural color and texture can be matched exactly. Wherever in Palm Beach County your care happens, the fitting and the paperwork work the same way. Dorin has fitted women before treatment starts, mid-course when a first wig has failed them, and through the long months of regrowth after — working alongside the oncology and support organizations on our medical partners page.
Insurance, FSA & HSA
With a physician's prescription for a cranial prosthesis and a letter of medical necessity, most FSA and HSA accounts cover the cost, and many insurance plans reimburse part or all of it. Dorin prepares the itemized documentation with the standard billing code (HCPCS L8042). Details are on our insurance & FSA/HSA page, and the paperwork is completed together during that first visit.
Getting Here from West Palm Beach
I-95 south, roughly fifty minutes from downtown West Palm Beach to 4800 SW 28th Terrace in Fort Lauderdale, or the Turnpike when the interstate is heavy. We regularly see clients from Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, Wellington, and Jupiter. The atelier is women-only and appointment-only, Sunday through Friday, and yours is the only appointment on the books while you are here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to make the drive more than once?
Usually not. The first appointment is booked long enough to cover measuring, color matching, cap selection, and the insurance paperwork together, and finished pieces can be shipped to you.
When should I schedule if treatment is starting soon?
In the weeks before it begins, if possible. Matching your hair while it is still present gives the truest result, and the piece is ready before you need it.
Will insurance or my FSA/HSA cover a cranial prosthesis?
Often, yes. With a prescription and letter of medical necessity, most FSA/HSA accounts cover the cost and many insurers reimburse. We provide the itemized paperwork.
Can the finished piece be shipped to me?
Yes. Every custom piece is made to order, and once your fitting is complete the finished prosthesis can be shipped to Palm Beach County.
